Yup! I figure since i didn't actually create any real coding here (all the heavy lifting was done by Dean Edwards), I shouldn't be possessive about it. :classic:

Besides, if Dean made it free-for-all, then it only makes sense I should.

oh yeah, this is my first hack, albeit mini. woot!

Now we just need the conditional to make it a user option and it's what I was doing.

I also have no clue what this extension does.

You also violate a copyright if you use the microsoft office help image
I would advice against using this graphic

It puts a floating button on the page, you can hit it to open a new site if your boos comes over to your desk.

You can use the button from my zip if you want.

And let me know when you add the conditional based on a second user field.

Some users don't want to use it.

Who sets the URL? User or Admin? I can see some awesome possibilities with this (like setting the panic button to playboy.com). **GRIN**

The field you add is for the user to fill in the url.

the URL defaults to whatever you set. but you can disable it (i.e. not add the Profile Part) and point it to any URL you want. I've seen some point it to a fake Excel spreadsheet, etc. or a dummy html page you set up.

Thanks.

1. I've gone ahead and changed out the button and added yours.
2. I've changed the placement of the script from Footer to Header
3. I've also added the On/Off conditional which is a template conditional and controlled via another Profile Field.

In the ACP, go to User Profile Fields > Add New User Profile Field

Profile Field Type: Single-Selection Radio Buttons
Title: Turn "Panic Button" on?
Description: The Panic Button is an icon that resides in a fixed place of your choosing on your screen on your screen. Clicking the icon immediately sends you to another URL of your choice.
Options: Yes (carriage-return)
No
Set default: Yes (thus Panic Button is automatically "on" until the user changes the option to "no")
Display Order: (Fills in automatically)
Field Required: Yes
Filed Editable by User: Yes
Private Field: Yes
Field Searchable on Members list: No
Show on Members List: No

Don't touch anything else and save.
!! Remember the field ID number. In my example, the field number is 6 !!

Okay, I'm not sure why, but when I put the piece in the header it open the page the first time, then goes 404 error over and over.

Continuous refresh. Of course I have so much crap it could just be placement.

Tried it in headinclude and same result.

well that sucks. try in the footer.

also, try checking in FireFox. for some reason, it works better in firefox as dean edwards is a firefox fanatic.

I put up a test board on my server. You can demo it here. Please don't register. Thanks.
